Jo was a beautiful person, inside and out. I always looked forward to seeing her and always left her feeling a little bit happier and glad for her presence in this world. I will miss her but am grateful to have shared some life space with her.
I have good memories of both Jo and Vern from church and Stephen ministry. They are the salt of the earth kind of people.
Now they are reunited in heaven.
So sorry to hear of your moms passing. She was one classy lady. May she rest in peace and may good hold her and the family in the palm of his hand
I’m so sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. My mom, Shirley Higbee, went to school with her and your dad. She would always attend the Benson High luncheons. I remember that she always looked like she walked out of a Vogue magazine. She was a compassionate person and will be missed.
I was so very sorry to hear about Jo’s passing. I have such amazing memories of her and Vern during our high school years. I know she will be so deeply missed by her family and those she loved. Sending prayers of healing, of love and thoughts of your family.
Jo was quite a magnificent lady. The passing of your Mother is an enormous loss for your family. And for all of us, her PEO Sisters.
We will miss Jo, a wonderful friend. Sorry we are unable to come to her service.
Dougi and Family, so very sorry to hear of the passing of your beautiful Mother. She was always so kind and I will always treasure the memories I have of being with her .
